Light beam therapy

Hi gina62

Do you mean Proton Beam Therapy ? Sounds like someone has seen Dr Google 

This is very a specialised (and very expensive) treatment. There are only 2 centres in the UK that perform this therapy and it is for specific tumours that need pinpoint accuracy for tumours that has no affect other tissue. Like those attached to arteries, brain etc.

It wouldn't be used for breast cancer unless there is a very special need for it as surgery removes the tumour.

The usual radiotherapy for breast cancer is External Beam Radiotherapy (info link)

Yes I Google and you tube everything x

Hi Gina  / gina62

Yes, I'm afraid we were all guilty of that at the start.

Then you figure out Dr Google can be outdated and worryingly misleading lol

Better sticking with BreastCancerNow, Cancer Research UK, Macmillan BC and the NHS sites.

Thanks for that. i am waiting for MRI etc but was alarmed when the doctor had not heard of Proton Beam.
